How to Attain Your Goals For This Year Strategically and Smartly

Well, it is New Year 2013 already but have you planned what do
you want to do in this year? May be you haven't or may be you have.
So,
if you haven't as yet started streaming down your priorities then get
started now. Let us understand what should be your topmost priorities.
Before
we begin, think about the past year and your achievements. If you are
an online business owner or a home business owner then you should make
list of all the profits and losses made last year. This will help you
get the idea of your requirements this year.
First you must list the goals that you have attained and those which you would like to see getting fulfilled this year.

Financial Goals:
How
would you like to see your finances this year? Have you made any plans
of making investments? If yes, then what type of investments do you
think will be most beneficial? Are you planning to expand your business
to boost income? How much percent boost are you expecting in your
monthly income? You must enlist all these things and make a strategic
plan for getting most out of this year. As a home business owner, it is
essential for you to notice the most profitable ways to earn money. Make
list of the all those businesses that helped you reap maximum benefits
last year. Then you can go geographic, meaning try to shortlist clients
from those countries that gave you most money. You can target such
clients this year.

Now, to enlist the losses that occurred in the
previous years. How much did you spend on your household expenses? How
much did you spend on enjoyment? What were the other expenses? Did your
expenses surpass your earning in any time of year? For example, you must
have made decent amount of money but since, you were expanding a lot of
it could have gone in buying office accessories, maintenance and for
other reasons. At other times, may be your entire earnings have gone for
somebody's hospital expenses. Make a note of all such expenses that
occurred last year. This year you need to be prepared for any such
events or any types of expenses. Budgeting should be a top priority.

Analyzing
the exact percentage of income boost that occurred last year will give
you a detailed idea of this year's income boost. For example, if your
income last year doubled the income earned in the previous year then you
must note that there was one hundred percent rise in your income. This
implies that your income has a great potential of rising, therefore, you
must shortlist your best source of income for the previous year. Your
goal for this year should be growing your income by 200 percent.
You
must then analyze your secondary sources of income. Which were the
sources that provided assistance to your main source of income? Enlist
them and analyze how you can put them to maximum use this year.

Emotional Goals:

Did
you miss your loved ones in 2012? Did you miss hanging out with your
best friends? Did you miss spending time with your family? If yes, then
this year you have to fulfill your emotional goals. You may have thought
of going on a family vacation but it may not have been possible for you
last year. It is true that most people work tirelessly because they
want to "buy happiness" for their loved ones. However, it is also true
that your loved ones are really happy when you are sitting next to them
watching a family movie. It is needless to say that you miss those
moments as well. So, how can you get them back without losing momentum?
Well, you need to plan this carefully this year. Are there any other
priorities like marriage, taking care of your kids or grandparents? If
yes, then you need to figure out which ones come first. Let this not be a
decision from the heart, calculate the consequence for prioritizing a
particular goal. Then organize your choices.

Career Goals:
What
have you planned for this year? Are you ready for the next level? Do
you think it is possible to get to that level this year? Is there any
sub-ordinate career that you want to venture into? Is there any
unfulfilled dream that you see fructifying this year? What exactly do
you want from your life this year? Are you looking forward to start new
businesses? If yes, is your answer to all these questions then you must
rate the success attained last year. If you think that you scored well
professionally then you can go for the next level this year. Of course,
you can decide the level depending upon the "rate of success" attained
in the previous year.

If the rate is above average then you can set high
level goals this year. If you have a dream to fulfill then see whether
you are perfectly prepared to make it a reality. Always check the
necessary ingredients before you start making the recipe. At the end of
it, you must meditate for sometime so that you can get tuned with your
soul. Your soul will tell you exactly what you want from life this year.

I
have some interesting goals myself. In order to achieve them, I need to
do careful planning. Otherwise, I won't be able to fulfill them.
However, I found a key to get the desired success in 2013.
